Looking at the first photo, I was a little turned of by it. But once you look at the detailed photos, you really see how nice it is. But whats with the lugs? They look as though they were just clipped on around the frame. You can clearly see a seam.
On a side note, I am looking at replacing my Bianchi with a BMC Road Racer SL01 this spring. (http://www.wrenchscience.com/road/frames/BMC/Road+Racer+SL01) Are there any BMC dealers in NS?
